However, a place like DU is essential for people who want to test their ideas, their understanding, their version of the truth. That's fair enough, right?

What's becoming apparent on DU is that the narrative we're getting from the media is drifting farther and farther not only from what we need as a nation and world, but also farther from reality.

DU postings won't determine who'll be President, but it's clear to me through careful reading therein who should be President.
